combination
of
a

and
an
educational
session.
The
occasion
was
a
visit
to

where
the
young
boys
and
girls
were
treated
to
such
things
as
jump

post.
There
also
was
a
visit
to
the

Corps
Museum,
a
place
of
real
interest
for
any
visitor,
a
place
where
the
history
of
army
.dress
can
be
traced
from
the
beginning
of
our
armed
forces.
Not
Only
Thing
Of
course,
army
dress
isn't
the
only
thing
the

features,
and
more
is
coming
as
there
is
a
big
rebuilding
program
going
on
there.
One
of
the
chief
items
of
interest
which
can
be
seen
at
the
museum,
and
one
which
drew
much
interest
from
the
young
visitors
from
Petersburg,
is
the
display
showing
item?

the
"Lady

"
This
is
the
World
War

many
of

items
are
in
good
